The thread won't die because people like you still don't understand how to do math, and we are trying to help you understand Distributing and Factoring. We are not trying to be "right" but rather point you in the right direction so you can see for yourself.

Obviously, you dont understand the distributive property.

You only use it when what inside the parenthesis cant be combined.

You do parantheses FIRST.

If it was (2+x). THEN YOU COULD USE IT.

You clearly dont understand factoring either!

You use it when what is inside the parentheses cant be combined.

I dont think you know the difference of an integer and a nomial either.

I am guessing DPS stands for DiP Shit as I said if your so stupid you cant do 3rd grade math copy the question into google search bar FUCKING STUPID UNEDUCATED AMERICANS. No wonder your government fucks you up the ass on a daily bases and tells you bull shit 911 Sandy Hook crap to infringe on your rights.

Because you are using a 9 yr old's math skills.I told you how to get the answer. Distribute the 2 into the parentheses as all the references say to do. If you want to ignore proper procedures, then you may remain ignorant and a half-wit at your own doing. Have fun with that.

Do they teach factoring anymore? I know they stopped preaching that children have to memorize times tables... I guess they started omitting other math basics in schools too. I guess it really isn;t your fault you get 9. However, it IS your fault if you don't want to learn why it is 1.

I give up. I could get a Harvard Professor or even Steven Hawkings to explain this and you idiots would still thing it is 1

Some people are just to stupid. Obviously it is pointless trying to explain it to you. If you can't work out that this is 6 ÷ 0.666666666666 and not 6 / 6 then your better off believing the 911 and Sandy Hook story then questioning it cause there is no telling what you would do when you found out the real answer.

How do we come to a concensus? What "expert" would be honored by both sides?

How about we take a vote?

Me? no math degree. I got an A in college algebra, and averaged 3.5 in 8 hours of college chemistry which is like a workshop for algebra. So..11 university hours of algebra work with nearly 4.0 and I say it's ONE.

I would love to have a harvard professor explain his response. He would have much more principles and reasoning than any of you people who say "Its 9 you morons".
